Anode:

Electrode for electrochemical oxidation reactions. In solid oxide fuel cells, hydrogen-containing fuels are oxidized by oxygen ions transported through an electrolyte to form water vapor or CO2 as the reaction products at this electrode. SOFC anodes may also act as fuel reforming catalysts when hydrocarbon-based fuels are supplied to the anodes.

Cathode:

Electrode for electrochemical reduction reactions. In solid oxide fuel cells, oxygen in ambient air is reduced to oxygen ions at this electrode.

Electrolyte:

Ionic conductor with negligible electronic conductivity, used as a membrane between an oxidation atmosphere and a reduction atmosphere. The essential material to construct electrochemical devices including fuel cells.

Fuel flexibility:

While low-temperature fuel cells (such as polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells) typically use pure hydrogen gas (or hydrogen gas mixed with CO2) as the fuel, high-temperature fuel cells can directly use various kinds of fuels, such as...
